Try this if you're using linux/unix system:
$variable =~ s/\n\r//g;

Odd. Here's the code snippet I ran right at the command-line:
$ perl
$text = "line1\nline2\n";

Thanks for your replies.
It does insert another character, but keeps the return too.
I have tried:
$text =~ s/\n//g;
and
$text =~ s/\r//g;
but it does the same thing, i.e. I get:
Line1
Line2
What I need is:
Line1Line2
Do you know how to get rid of the returns altogether?

Something like this?
my $othercharacter = 'Z';
$yourvariable =~ s/\r/$othercharacter/g;
# \r is carriage return
# /g at the end means do them all

I tried this:
my $text = "some text\n";
$text =~ s/\n//g
